CORRECTION: SoulVegFolk

So in all my excitement, I incorrectly attributed the creation of SoulVegFolk to Bryant Terry, when it really belongs to Blactivegan and Nite*Vision.

Breakfast Smoothie Recipe

I made this today. I adapted the recipe from The Ultimate Smoothie Book: 130 Delicious Recipes for Blender Drinks, Frozen Desserts, Shakes, and More!.

Prep time: Must start a day in advance, then less than 5 minutes in a good blender like the Vita-Mix

Breakfast Smoothie

1/2 cup rolled oats (not the quick cooking kind)
1/2 cup raisins
2 tbs almonds
2 tbs flax seeds
2 tbs pumpkin seeds
1/2 banana
milk of your choice (I used almond milk)
cinnamon, optional
pinch of sea salt, optional


In a bowl, add the oats, raisins, almonds, flax seeds and pumpkin seeds. Use enough milk to cover mixture. Cover bowl and refrigerate overnight. Add mixture to blender with banana, and optional cinnamon and/or sea salt. Blend well, adding extra milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.

This makes roughly 16 ounces (more or less depending on how much milk you use), so it's enough for two people.

This recipe does not require any added sugar, and salt is used to enhance the flavors, but it is not necessary.
